Doing well and doing good: barbecue for breast cancer

Posted by Kimberly Sherman July 18, 2008 08:08 AM

Long before my friend Lisa died from breast cancer, I ran races, walked if I had to, and pledged to those who committed to raising money to work toward a cure. The 2nd Annual BBQ Cookoff in Dover, N.H., on July 20 gives all proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Time to go eat ribs.

Held at Dover's American Legion Post 8, the cookoff is open to all amateurs and professionals wanting bragging rights to the best barbeque around. An outdoor, family-friendly event for charity this weekend would be finger lickin' good. Call 603-742-9710 for more information.
